To enhance the international visibility of Academia Sinica's research and ensure open access to publicly funded results:
1. All Academia Sinica-supported publications in Nature, Cell, or Science must use Gold Open Access (freely available on the journal's official website immediately upon publication). The Article Processing Charges (APCs) will be fully covered by Academia Sinica.
2. For results of Academia Sinica–funded projects published Open Access in journals ranked within the top 5% of their field (based primarily on the Journal Impact Factor in that year's Journal Citation Reports), investigators may apply for APC funding.

If any misrepresentation of the nation's name is found in publications, researchers shall promptly request corrections from the editorial board of the international journal and notify the Department of Academic Affairs and Instrument Service (DAAIS) by email: daais@gate.sinica.edu.tw. Any subsequent updates shall likewise be reported to the DAAIS. For projects also funded by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), such incidents shall be handled in accordance with the Operational Guidelines for the Correction and Handling of Misrepresentation of the Nation's Name in International Journal Publications and Academic Conferences Attended by NSTC-Sponsored Scholars.
